Chapter 167 Emotional High
It is said that the letters and boxes that He Shiqian had his men bring from the northwest were delivered to Qin Shuyu in advance.
Yu Pu had seen them when she handled them, so she naturally knew what was in the two boxes.
The box given to He Xulan contained a garnet headpiece.
The box given to Zhao Mianmian did not contain beads, but local trinkets from the northwest.
The worthless kind.
In fact, considering Zhao Mianmian's age, there is nothing wrong with giving her these little gadgets.
It’s just that people are afraid of being compared with others, and goods are afraid of being compared with others.
Compared with the set of garnet masks given to He Xulan, these little gadgets that Qian Ge'er gave to Mian Jie'er were really not up to standard.
Yu Pu was relieved when she saw that Zhao Mianmian did not open the box in front of everyone.
He thought it would be better not to open the box, lest people would look at Lan Jie'er's pomegranate mask and then turn around to see the things Qian Ge'er gave to Zhao Mianmian and gossip about her behind her back.
She said that the He family looked down on the orphan of the Zhao family and deliberately favored one over the other.
However, what she didn't expect was that as soon as she turned her head and hadn't even left Lan Jie'er's room, Zhao Mianmian was instigated to open the box.
Yu Pu was worried that Zhao Mianmian was young and couldn't handle the trouble. After being instigated by outsiders, she embarrassed Lan Jie'er in public.
He frowned, gritted his teeth, and quickly walked out of Linhe Courtyard and went to the outer courtyard to call for help.

He Xinyi calmed down instantly when she saw Zhao Mianmian's determined look.
She curled the corners of her mouth and thought that this little girl from the country was really naive.
Who is He Shiqian? He is the eldest son of the He family's direct lineage and is high up in the hierarchy.
It’s fine to be nice to He Xulan, after all, they are from the same mother.
How could I possibly waste my time and attention on this little brat I've never even met?
If He Shiqian really had that intention, he would have come back from the northwest long ago.
Instead of what is happening now, where they just send two boxes and call it a day without even showing up.
but……
He Xinyi snorted in her heart.
It’s good to be innocent. The more innocent you are, the easier it is to control.
When she opens the box later and incites everyone to say some sarcastic words, it is possible that this little girl who has never seen the world will not be able to hold it in and start crying in public.
If He Xulan and Zhao Mianmian, the cousins, start fighting, today's coming-of-age ceremony will be a blast! !
Thinking of this, He Xinyi calmed down, walked forward leisurely, and stretched out her hand to Zhao Mianmian with a smile:
"Yes, sister, I have never seen such a beautiful box."
"I'm sure Brother Shiqian must have given Sister Mianmian something good. Maybe it's better than Sister Xulan's. Why don't you open it and show it to us so that we can all open our eyes?"
As soon as He Xinyi said this, everyone fell silent.
If there were still people who didn't know what He Xinyi was planning before, now they can see it clearly.
It turns out that this distant cousin of the He family wanted to use Zhao Mianmian to slap He Xulan in the face!
"He Xinyi, you..."
Several girls who were good friends with He Xulan couldn't stand it anymore and wanted to stand up and speak out.
But before anyone could speak, Zhao Mianmian, who was holding the box, suddenly took his hand back.
Everyone watched helplessly as a short kid holding a box in his arms ran outside the house, stood on the corridor outside the house, and waved to He Xinyi inside the house with a smile:
"Come on, Sister Xinyi, it's too dark in the room, let's go outside and take a look."
He Xinyi: “…”
Zhao Mian stood in the corridor at the door, raised the box in his hand towards He Xinyi, and smiled harmlessly.
Seeing the smile on Zhao Mianmian's face, He Xinyi's heart skipped a beat and she had a feeling that it was not a good thing.
But after Zhao Mianmian said that, everyone's eyes in the room suddenly turned to her, making her feel like she didn't know whether to go or not.
He Xinyi gritted her teeth and quickly went over it in her mind.
She thought to herself, no matter how powerful Zhao Mianmian was, he was just a three-year-old kid.
If something really happens, I won't be at a disadvantage.
Besides, if they took action in front of so many people, it would be a loss for He Xulan. She even hoped that Zhao Mianmian would take action first.
Thinking of this, He Xinyi clenched her fingers, pretended to be indifferent, and followed Zhao Mianmian towards the door.
It is absolutely impossible to do anything.
Zhao Mianmian was not so stupid as to disrupt He Xulan's coming-of-age ceremony in front of a room full of outsiders.
However, since someone came to her door, she didn't mind teaching He Xinyi a lesson in consideration of the thousands of gold coins rewarded by the audience in the live broadcast room.
Zhao Mianmian had been to He Xulan's Linheyuan several times and was very familiar with the layout.
Zhao Mianmian held the box in front of He Xinyi and pretended to open it in front of her.
But just when He Xinyi leaned closer to take a look, Zhao Mianmian's grip loosened.
Instead of opening, the box fell straight from Zhao Mianmian's hand, rolled to the side, and rolled down the corridor unimpeded.
Actually, it's nothing if the box falls to the ground.
It's nothing to roll down the corridor.
But under the corridor is a small pond that was dug specially for He Xulan after the family had consulted a Feng Shui master! !
The box rolled and fell into the flower viewing pond with a plop, sinking to the bottom.
Barrage: [Oh wow~]
People who eat melon:...
He Xinyi: ???
Zhao Mianmian stood in a clever position, which allowed people to hear her conversation with He Xinyi while also covering up her own little movements.
The few little girls who followed out heard and saw it all. They only knew that Zhao Mianmian handed the precious box to He Xinyi, and He Xinyi hurried to take a look.
But somehow, the box fell to the ground and even rolled into the pond under the corridor at lightning speed...
There was an eerie silence in the air. Everyone looked at each other, and no one dared to speak.
Zhao Mianmian didn't say anything either.
She kept handing the box over, staring straight at He Xinyi's face.
Then, at a speed visible to the naked eye, tears began to accumulate in his eyes little by little.
Finally, when everyone was getting frightened, she burst into tears with a loud "wow".
